Baby Executive is pleased with your performance!
So who is presumably left in Trump's inner circle?

There's Giuliani, Christie. Breitbart CEO Bannon is still there I assume. Pence and Kellyanne seem like they're still there, but ready to eject at any minute.

So have any polls happened since "the tape"?

Looking at 538, polls-only has HRC at 81.3%, polls-plus at 77.1%, and now-cast at 85.3%...

The polls update list only shows the last 3 polls as Oct 5-7 (for Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) and it's unclear the final day of those captures the mayhem...

I'm more interested in the Hitler's last days roster.

Himmler and Goering both betrayed Hitler. Goebbels stayed loyal to the end. Speer intentionally sabotaged Hitler's orders but otherwise stayed loyal. And Dornitz wanted nothing to do with the situation and got dragged into it in the last second.

Questions like this is why PPP is one of the top polling companies. They'll ask some things that at first glance seem irrelevant, and then suddenly, SURPRISE, it has weight.

Mark Burnett is the producer of The Apprentice. The contracts that the crew signed presumably had a $5 million fine for breaking the NDA, so whoever has the tape won't leak it without $5 million to pay the fine.

Let me just say that I'm incredibly sensitive to overwhelming Fremdscham to the point of not being able to enjoy reality TV at all (which honestly isn't a bad thing) and I have felt zero for Trump. This is such a classic example of getting hoisted on your own petard.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
I'm starting to wonder less about Clinton trying to drive Trump crazy, since he'll probably do it to himself, and more about her positioning responses as a wedge between the Trumpists and the rest of the party to try and fracture the GOP as severely as possible. A GOP turnout depression of a few points nationally could be devastating on the down ticket races if suddenly GOPers with a safe 5 point lead are looking at a 1-2 point lead, or less, in polls while having to contend with a lack of GOP GOTV vs a massive GOTV from Clinton.

Also, might've been posted but if not:

Dexo posted:

No really though this Gawker lawsuit has no effect on other media no siree

It's not even close to the same thing though. Trump's running form POTUS and as public a figure you can be in the US, with the tape released while he was actively doubling down on offensive remarks about a former Miss Universe. Any lawsuit by Trump, or that lawyer Thiel uses as his proxy to kill go after the media, wouldn't have a chance in hell since even finding a corrupt judge would get it thrown out on appeal pretty quickly.

The public really didn't have any burning need to see (hear about, sure) Hogan's sex tape. But something like this recording of Trump when he's running for the highest office in the land? The bar to clear is so low that you'd need mining equipment to find it. ABC was being overly scared of reprisals and got scooped as they deserve.



OH/PA/WI and the safer states is a Clinton victory without FL/CO/NV or other non-lock states. Though numbers like that are more like a 350+ EV victory, maybe more if his recent tape is toxic enough to drive down his numbers another 2-3 points since that could put AZ/GA in to play as well and start closing in on 400+ EVs.

I want an 8+ point, 400+ EV Clinton landslide win. Give the Dems 51-52 Senators and shave the GOP's hold on the House so slim that Ryan has to always have the entire party behind him to do anything.

Ohio is getting bluer on 538 and Arizona is getting paler. Once the next round of polling comes out, we'll know exactly how big of a landslide we're headed to.
